100% Hemp 100% Naturally Hand Dyed.
These colours are all 100% Artisan Hand Naturally Dyed by World Natural Dye Master Cheryl Kolander who IS Aurora Silk.
In stock colours: Artisan hand dyed on fine 2-ply hemp with Natural Dyes by World Master Natural Dyer Cheryl Kolander in her Aurora Silk Studio in Portland, Oregon, USA.
note: electronic colour reproduction is only a mild approximation of these rich and vibrant true colours. Since this is the last, our former, actual-sample colours charts are no longer available.
NOTE: This yarn is no longer being spun. The fibre quality that it is spun from is no longer being produced. All current hemp yarns and fabric (with the exception of our Nepali hand spun Hand woven wildcrafted hemp fabric, and the last of the Herringbone Hemp fabric) is now being "cottonized". That means, overretted and turned into so-called "soft hemp". But it is really so denatured that it is no longer truely hemp, just a poor immitation of what could and used to be. Sorry! My philosophy of doing business is:"I only sell what I use and I only use THE BEST!". This fine 2-ply hemp is the last of "THE BEST".
Almost all the colours listed below are still available. But please do not delay. This really is your last chance to get these historically accurate and truely quality Naturally dyed colours on the last of the truely fine hemp.
My recipes are in my Master Dyebook: "Brilliant colours with Natural Dyes." I recommend you practice Naturally dyeing hemp yourself. Sorry, but I will not dye cottonized hemp.
